To develop efficient gene delivery in larger animals, based on a previous mouse study, we explored the luciferase reporter gene transfer in rats by establishing a novel unfocused ultrasound system with simultaneous targeted injection of a plasmid and microbubble mixture into a specific liver lobe through a portal vein branch. Luciferase expression was significantly enhanced over 0–30 Vol% of the Definity® microbubbles, with a plateau between 0.5 and 30 Vol%. The increase of gene delivery efficiency also depended on the acoustic peak negative pressure, achieving over 100-fold enhancement at 2.5 MPa compared with plasmid only controls. Transient, modest liver damage following treatment was assessed by transaminase assays and histology, both of which correlated with gene expression induced by acoustic cavitation. In addition, pulse-train ultrasound exposures (i.e., with relatively long quiescent periods between groups of pulses to allow tissue refill with microbubbles) produced gene expression levels comparable to the standard US exposure but reduced the extent of liver damage. These results indicated that unfocused high intensity therapeutic ultrasound exposure with microbubbles is highly promising for safe and efficient gene delivery into the liver of rats or larger animals.
